Dr. Day told of the first time he ever
saw Z. p. Lull. 1t was in 80, when the
cholera waS,raging along the river. He
was coming down the street one day
when he saw a man approaching him
With-a coffin on his shoulders. 1t was
novel sight, and the doctor stopped to
see Where the man went. He walked
up, and taking the coffin off his should
ders, stood itup against building and
took a rest. 1t was Lull, and he told
the doctor that fellow had just died up
town. and he was going to bury him
whether he got cent for it or not.
Senator E. w. Durant told how, thirty
eight years ago, he landed from a steam
boat on the leyee at the foot of Jackson
street, and tieing his wardrobe ND in a
cotton handkerchief walked to Still
water. He said he saw Capt. Berkey
comegOf the steamboat of which he was
clerk and he, Durant, thought if he
could only get to be steamboat clerk
his ambition would be satisfied,
Z. a. Tuttle, of Minneapolis, gave his
experience ON his trip from st. Louis to
Taylor's Falls on a raft in 1888. It
savored strongly of Indians, whisky and
other hardshipS.
